45: When we combine, we are invincible!

“As expected, my strength has improved significantly!”

Right after his breakthrough, Xia Fan carefully assessed his current physical condition, and with a sigh of emotion, he thought to himself, “Now, both my strength and speed have increased. Even without using abilities like Berserk, I can easily kill ordinary second-tier fierce beasts.”

“Moreover, after being nourished by a large amount of World Spiritual Energy, my body has become purer, so I don’t have to worry about the influence of impurities or dregs. This is a good thing.”

“With the seven-colored lotus, I naturally improve my strength faster than other fierce beasts!”

After a long while, Xia Fan noticed that the Magic Cat on the other side of the pond had also stopped absorbing World Spiritual Energy and let out a joyful cry, “Tiger Brother, I’m much stronger now!”

“Mhm, mhm, that’s to be expected.”

He let out a few low roars, responding with joy.

The tiger and the cat lingered by the edge of the pond for a while. After getting used to the strength of being a second-tier mid-stage fierce beast, they both left and returned to the tian yuan fruit tree.

Xiong Da, Yuan Dali, Jin Yu, and other fierce beasts were eagerly waiting. The bloody smell throughout the valley had also been swept away, and no other fierce beast carcasses could be seen.

Beside the tian yuan fruit tree, there were some more fierce beast crystals.

Although these fierce beasts still salivated when they looked at them, none dared to move.

“Boss, you’re finally back.”

Yuan Dali was the first to shout out his report, “In the past few days, a few sporadic fierce beasts came, but we stopped them outside and successfully killed them.”

“Mhm, you all did very well.”

Xia Fan let out a low roar and nodded, casually praising them. This, however, made Yuan Dali and the other fierce beasts overjoyed, and they let out another round of excited cries.

At this moment, Xiong Da came forward, holding two crystals in his large, fan-like paw. One was earthy yellow, and the other was green.

“Roar—”

He let out a roar, immediately expressing his meaning, “Boss, these are the crystals of a Pangolin and a giant flying bird. They were kept as instructed.”

Xia Fan looked over upon hearing this. The Pangolin’s crystal should possess the ability to burrow, as Pangolins mostly burrow when they appear.

As for the giant bird’s, it was Wind Manipulation Technique!

“Roar roar!”

He let out a few low roars, then swallowed these two crystals, quickly digesting their abilities and making them his own.

And he quickly learned the effects of these two abilities.

【Earth Evasion Technique: A-rank. Allows rapid movement through soil. After concealing one’s aura, one can kill enemies without a trace.】

【Wind Manipulation Technique: A-rank. Allows control over wind. During the use of this ability, operations such as acceleration and low-altitude flight can be achieved with minimal consumption.】

Upon seeing this, Xia Fan’s eyes immediately lit up.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the fierce beasts, he leaped and plunged into the earth, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When he reappeared, he had moved behind the fierce beasts, and no fierce beast could detect his movements during that time.

Before the fierce beasts could exclaim, Xia Fan seemed to sprout a pair of invisible wings, and after a few steps of a running start, he soared into the sky, freely soaring.

He was having a bit too much fun, directly swooping down and sweeping over the heads of the fierce beasts, scaring them into continuous screams.

“Roar roar roar!”

As soon as he landed, Xia Fan roared excitedly a few times, not hiding his inner exhilaration.

When he used the Earth Evasion Technique just now, he was sure that none of the fierce beasts, except for the Magic Cat, had noticed. As for low-altitude flight, he could even strike directly and forcefully suppress them before the fierce beasts could react.

“Long live the Boss!”

A cunning glint flashed in Wolf Three’s eyes. Before the fierce beasts could recover, he howled a few times, actually starting to flatter directly, “Now, Boss is as swift as the wind and his movements are mysterious. I’m afraid no fierce beast can contend with him.”

“With Boss leading us, we will definitely become stronger and stronger.”

“Alright, I know, no need to say more.”

Xia Fan merely glanced at Wolf Three, which immediately silenced the latter.

His gaze fell on the fierce beasts, and he let out a solemn roar, full of meaning, “I know that in the previous battle, everyone made significant contributions.”

“Although the carcasses of the fierce beasts have already been distributed among you all, these are not enough to highlight your merits.”

Amidst his low roars, Xia Fan pushed the remaining crystals forward, immediately exciting all the fierce beasts, “You all can divide these remaining crystals among yourselves.”

“I said that if you follow me, you won’t suffer losses; instead, you’ll become stronger at a faster rate.”

“Awooo…”

“Roar roar—”

“...”

Immediately, the fierce beasts let out incredibly excited cries, instantly dividing these crystals amongst themselves, unable to hide their inner excitement.

“Tiger Brother, you’re amazing!”

The Magic Cat did not participate in this feast of division.

It had always followed Xia Fan, and usually, when there were good things, Xia Fan would always be the first to share them with it. Besides, it had also improved its strength now, so it didn’t care for these crystals.

Now, it was simply genuinely happy for Xia Fan, and after seeing the abilities Xia Fan displayed, a look of adoration appeared in its eyes, with shining stars in both, “Tiger Brother, does that mean we can walk sideways in the Yunxia Mountain Range from now on?”

“Hahaha, the two of us combined are invincible!”

Xia Fan roared out with immense joy, feeling incredibly proud and spirited at this moment, “By then, let alone the Yunxia Mountain Range, we can go wherever we want.”

“Meow meow meow!!”

For a moment, the Magic Cat could not hide its inner excitement and directly circled Xia Fan rapidly, its beautiful purple light especially dazzling.

The meaning Xia Fan expressed just now was not an exaggeration.

After all, he knew in his heart that with his current strength, plus the Magic Cat, he was invincible!

This was absolute confidence!

After a while, the scene quieted down.

The fierce beasts all held their crystals, unable to contain their excitement, while Xia Fan went to the valley entrance to check on the ancient vine he was interested in.

At this moment, after a bloody battle, the originally verdant ancient vine had turned deep red, with a faint bloody aura lingering around it, adding a touch of eeriness.

“From now on, I’ll call you the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine!”

Xia Fan was silent for a moment, and in the end, he still felt that this name was more suitable for the current ancient vine.

During the previous fierce beast battle, he intentionally had Yuan Dali and other fierce beasts pile a large number of the carcasses of the invading fierce beasts next to the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine, making it convenient for it to absorb their essence blood.

Coupled with the help of the blood spirit grass, the growth rate of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine had increased significantly.

“In two more days, you will be fully formed!”

Xia Fan sighed inwardly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

He still remembered how terrifying the Kyoto Willow was in his previous life, and now he imagined the power of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine after it was fully formed, “Grow well, there will be a time for you to shine.”
